1. POLDER is a word, and is a better way to open then PONDER. Two reasons, I think: POLDER will more likely draw a challenge, and RES will bring them to the TWS.
2. TOTTER and SOLDIER both take the same unusal hook. Didn't think of it for the first til after, and didn't know ir for the second.
3. LEGIT takes a convenient front hook.
4. Chickened out on ZINgARO and went with OR(G)ANIZe. I couldn't remember if the -ANO or -ARO spelling was correct. Turns out they both are. I think I would have tried it, except the G was played so I went with the 100%-sure-bingo rather than the 90% one.
5. VASSAL is also a good word with only one S. Again, wasn't 100%, and it was a 50+ point play.
6. LUTHIERY* isn't good, and it's a good thing I didn't have a way to play it because I was sure it was.
7. However, EHLTUY? through a D has one anagram.
